Sample S&T Projects: Basic Research S&T Research Goals Develop lightweight, flexible and high efficiency solar cells and modules which can be used for a terrestrial mobile power source by combining: Flexible solar modules currently developed for satellite power, based on triple junction solar cells using the inverted metamorphic (IMM) technology Lightweight mobile solar panel for terrestrial use Specifically, develop and optimize the cell fabrication methods, including the selection and preparation of appropriate substrate materials High-efficiency flexible solar cells and modules for terrestrial use NICOP (S&T Grant) New Start Oct 2015- Japanese Industry The lattice mismatch problem is solved by the buffer layer (left). When the Metalorganic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD) epitaxial growth is complete, the substrate is removed and replaced by a support substrate of desired mechanical properties. 10
Sample S&T Projects: PACFLT JCTD Maritime Domain Awareness Using Commercial Satellites: Coalition Tactical Awareness and Response (CTAR) Provide rapid access to task and receive ad hoc, unclassified, shareable, wide area, space based, routine Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT) data to augment ISR needs in maritime domain. Introduce new RADAR business model: save ~80% current costs Unclassified and Shareable to support coalition operations and partnerships Simultaneously augments and compliments National means 11
Sample S&T Projects: Mil-Mil Research Multi Hull Naval Ship Design with Japan Improve USN and Japan MoD capabilities for design and performance assessment of multi hull naval ships. Improve the knowledge, design tools, and processes to support performance evaluation of current multi hull ships, as well as development of future multi hull ship concepts. 12
